Summary

The Amateur Traveler talks to Christine who comes to tell us that Wisconsin has more to offer than just visiting my relatives. She starts us on a tour of the state from the college town and capital of Madison with its street fairs, concerts and capital building. We hear about the influence of Wisconsin born architect Frank Lloyd Wright who founded his school of architecture at nearby Taliesin. We enjoy the bike paths, breweries, badgers football and burial mounds. The we move on to Milwaukee with its neighborhoods, breweries and of course baseball. We stop in Kohler and then head up Wisconsin’s “thumb” to Door county. After visiting Green Bay and the home of the Packers we head up to the north woods with its many small lakes and Lake Superior with its one very big one. We wrap up by winding down the Mississippi river. Think there is nothing to see in Wisconsin? Think again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good
0:08.2	in my passport photo.
0:10.7	Amateur Traveler episode 200. Today the amateur traveler talks about woods and
0:16.6	lakes and beer and fish boils as we go to Wisconsin. Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. As I said
0:36.2	this is episode 200 and we'll say more about that in the community section
0:40.4	after the interview but first some news stories.
0:44.5	This one, I thought was an interesting one.
0:47.3	There's a YouTube video of a Danish woman who is claiming to be looking for the father of her

0:54.8	year old child and said that she was now looking for the father who she had had a one night
0:59.7	stand with. The interesting thing is this video is from the Danish tourism board who apparently wants you to think of loose women when you think of Denmark.
1:09.0	In further proof that it really does take all kinds, Carnival is going to have a Cougar cruise, that is a
1:14.8	cruise for older women and younger men. There was no information that would indicate that
1:20.3	the younger men might get a discount, but don't be too surprised if that's the next step.
1:26.0	In a more serious story an Italian man was arrested for kissing his daughter in public. The daughter was half Italian, half Brazilian,
1:38.0	and it was perceived by the people who watched her that he was publicly molesting her.
1:44.4	Now the interesting thing is I wonder is that what was going on
1:48.8	it certainly does happen or was it a clash of cultures.
1:52.4	What do you think? Links to all these stories and others at
1:55.5	amateur traveler.com. I'd like to welcome to the show Christine who is coming
2:02.3	to us from Madison, Wisconsin and come to talk to us about Wisconsin.
2:07.0	Christine, welcome to the show.
